'Black Summer' is the prequel to Syfy's show 'Z Nation' and is a zombie apocalypse movie. Netflix had ordered eight episodes, straight-to-series spin-off of the original show in 2018. Unlike 'Z Nation', 'Black Summer' will be a serious show. There will be no tongue-in-cheek treatment for the show which is produced by Jodi Binstock.  

Release date:

The television show is slated to release on April 11.

Plot:

The show will capture the journey of Jaime King as a mother who is separated from her daughter during  a cataclysmic event. The show is set four months into the apocalypse of 'Z Nation' and this is when 95 percent of the population dies over the summer. The show creator Karl Schaefer revealed this at the 2018 San Diego Comic Con. Jaime King's character takes upon a difficult journey to find her daughter. She along with a group of American refugees must make tough decisions to stay alive and brave the horrendous new world.
